Preliminary Remarks

In order to connect the apps (Storekit v2) with the Frisbii Media Merchant Backend, the following information is required, which is available in App Store Connect:

  • Name of the app (bundle ID)

  • App-specific key (shared secret)

  • Issuer ID

App-specific key (shared secret)

The app-specific key (shared secret) is required to establish and authenticate a connection between the Apple API and the Frisbii Media API. The Shared Secret is a unique code to retrieve receipts for subscriptions with automatic renewal for a selected app.  If several apps are to be used, a separate shared secret must be used for each app.

Note: Only the account owner and administrator roles can display and create a shared secret.
